Historic 17th-Century Castle — Rions, Bordeaux Region

Property Description

Overlooking the Garonne valley, at the heart of one of the oldest medieval villages in the Bordeaux region, stands a 17th-century estate of quiet distinction. Built around 1660, Château Salins sits on 4.28 hectares of private grounds — vineyard, parkland, private pool — with approximately 800 m² of historic buildings thoughtfully divided across a principal residence and four independent apartments. Currently generating €23,400 per year in passive rental income, the estate functions from day one as both a family seat and an income-producing asset — without the operational burden of building from scratch. The vineyard operates under a farming lease. The land maintains itself.

Rions is classified among the "Cités Historiques" of Gironde — a walled medieval village with stone gates, Romanesque church, and centuries of documented history. The property sits at the upper edge of the village with commanding views. For the right buyer: a legacy property, a lifestyle base, and a structured investment — 30 minutes from Bordeaux, 40 from the international airport.
